Quarterback Darryl Overstreet Jr. was named GLVC Football's Offensive Player of the Week after his efforts in UIU's 38-31 triumph over William Jewell last weekend. He is the third selection from Peacock football this season, following Ben Kamara (9/9/24) and Jayden Mitchell (9/30/24).
 
The junior completed a career-high 80% of his passes (24-30) in a single game against the Cardinals. He threw two touchdowns and totaled 199 passing yards. 
 
Overstreet also contributed to the team's ground game, rushing for an individual season-high of 57 yards (8.1 yards per rush) and one touchdown. The Grayslake, Ill. native also recorded a game-high longest rush of 36 yards. 
 
Upper Iowa football is back in action Saturday, Oct. on the campus of Lincoln University in Jefferson, Mo.
